How to use custom area / city / state to register with drupal or elgg?
I am implementing a social networking site. I am hoping to use drupal or elgg and I am trying both. I got stuck on setting up registration to include neighborhood in addition to city and state.
I want the dropdown menus to customize local information based on more global information. So, once you select a state, the list of cities will be populated in the dropdown menu.
I create a list of interesting quarters and can load them into a db table or whatever.
What do you suggest?
Javascript and / or php is fine.

You will need a module like Active Select ( Drupal 6 port ) that provides this functionality to the Forms API.

for elgg .. there are two plugins you will find useful.

hope this helps you in a useful direction.
you can even use csv and this plugin ... to populate all the information dynamically.
